Thanks, question answered. Next time I will ask them to findout for themselves!

What I was asking was if they are out while carrying, and then decide to drink would keeping their weapon away from them be sufficient? I realize that it would be best to not carry while drinking. The issue is whether an officer would consider them carrying if it the handgun was not on them. I would assume it would be alright if it were separate from them. I will look through other posts, but so far I haven't seen this addressed but there are a million threads to look through.

I do not drink so I never paid attention to issues regarding CHL and drinking. But, friends of mine do and are curious as to what they can do so they will not get into trouble while drinking. I imagine that if they are out drinking at all they cannot legally carry. Would storing their handgun in a trunk or the bed of a truck suffice? They do not want to leave it at home but also do not want to get into trouble for carrying while drinking. So, who can clarify?
